PADI Full Face Mask Specialty Course

Ever wondered what it’s like to breathe naturally through your nose while diving? The PADI Full Face Mask Specialty Course teaches you how to dive comfortably using a full face mask, giving you increased warmth, clearer communication options, and enhanced safety.

This course provides all the technical, practical, and safety knowledge needed to become a confident full face mask diver. You'll start with a pool-based orientation to familiarise yourself with the mask, followed by two open water dives at Wraysbury Lake to refine your skills in real-world conditions.
